Apple Pie Roll Ups

I have mentioned time and time again how much I love Fall and especially Fall baking! This weekend I decided to try this simple recipe for "Apple Pie Roll Ups". This turned out wonderfully and they are super easy to make. I would suggest making these for the holidays or even for a tailgate! Check out the recipe below. Happy Monday!

Apple Pie Roll Ups:

Ingredients:

10 slices white bread

1 can apple pie filling

⅓ cup melted butter

½ cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Cut the crusts off your bread and roll each slice flat with a rolling pin. 

3. Combine cinnamon and sugar on a small plate.

4. Pour the apple pie filling onto a plate and chop it so the pieces are smaller. 

5. Put about 2 tablespoons apple pie filling on each slice of bread and roll up.

6. Dip each piece into melted butter (I poured a tiny bit of butter into a "butter dish" and just rolled in there) and then roll in the cinnamon sugar.

7. Place seam side down on a parchment lined pan and bake 15 minutes or until browned and crispy. 

8. Serve warm.

Ooey Gooey White Chocolate Rice Krispy Treats

Rice Krispy treats are extremely easy to make so I wanted to add a little something extra to make them different. I thought what better to add than white chocolate to make this recipe even more ooey and gooey! I would highly recommend trying this recipe out!

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons butter

4 cups JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows

6 cups Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal

Directions:

1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
2. Add KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal. Stir until well coated.

3. Stir in White Chocolate Chips until completely coated.
4. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into 2-inch squares. Best if served the same day.

Artifact Uprising

Last week I stumbled across this awesome new company called Artifact Uprising. They are a website that you can get your Instagram images printed or even get photo books made with all your images.  This site is pretty cool and I love the way the 25 prints I ordered turned out. They are printed on good quality cardstock and are big enough to really see all the details in the pictures. I would really suggest this to anyone who wants to save those memories that we all post on social media. I plan to put mine on my fridge, my desk, and start making some into a photo book! Check them out here!

Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pie

This past week I had Monday and Tuesday off from school before I started my very first 12 hour Clinical shift on the Trauma floor. I cannot explain how extremely nervous I was for that but it actually went very well! To relieve stress I like to bake or go running. I know those two things are polar opposites but those are just two of my biggest stress relievers and last week trust me I did both to try and relieve the stress and anxiety about my first clinical rotation. Anyway, I had promised last week when I posted a photo of this pie on Instagram that I would post the recipe for y'all! Well here it is! 

Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pie: 

Ingredients:

1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie shell

2 large eggs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened

1 cup (6 oz) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

1 cup chopped nuts

Sweetened whipped cream or ice cream (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 F.

2. Beat eggs in a large mixer bowl on high speed until foamy. 

3. Beat in flour, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. 

4. Beat in butter. 

5. Stir in morsels and nuts. 

6. Spoon into pie shell.

7. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between edge and center comes out clean.

8. Cool on wire rack. 

9. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream if desired. 

9. Enjoy! 

*If using frozen pie shell, use deep-dish style, thawed completely. Bake on baking sheet: increase baking time slightly. 

P.S. Heads up because this pie is actually very sweet so I suggest having some vanilla bean ice cream to go with it! Also make sure to thaw the frozen pie shell completely. I did not do this and it made baking take a good bit longer.
